Upcoming Technology: Double Pane LCD Screen

Soon, you'll be able to see on both sides of an LCD panel. What's the use? Well, there are a bunch of uses, like computer screens, cell phones and display screens. These types of screens permit the overlaying of information, perhaps leading to multi-pane screens as well. The most interesting use would be computer screens or cell phones.

Designer Mac Funamizu came up with this idea. He says that these panels could create a sense of depth when graphics are overlayed. These types of screens could be also used in other devices, like interactive maps and GPS devices. Sounds futuristic, but with ultra-thin OLED screens, this type of thing might actually happen pretty soon. [via Yanko Design, photos by Mac Funamizu]
